Gemutations: Plague

GENRE: Near Future Science Fiction/Drama
Mature Themes: Language, Violence, nudity, sexual situations
TW: body horror, violence, on screen death
Platform: Amazon (Print and Kindle)

David Scott and Angelina Cortez are newer to being gemues (Genetically Mutated Humans) than most. Their experimentation was illicit and unasked for, and the other side of the coin as humans was only six years in their past. They are also more fortunate than most gemues, as they have personal wealth and a status that, while tainted, hasn’t been stripped from them. Together they help to create the Gemue Allegiance and have made themselves advocates for equal rights for their genus. The cause is a difficult one in a country where gemues are second class citizens and shunned by the public.

All their efforts – all their gains – are about to be undermined by a new threat. It seems gemues are popping up all along the coast that spread their mutation like the common cold. That in and of itself is dangerous, considering the political climate – worse still is the fact that the virus kills most it infects. Even those who survive are carriers and risk creating an epidemic of new cases.

David and Angelina find unlikely allies in Tom Martin, a doctor at New Fresno Medical Center, and his brother Steve – humans, well cyborgs really. Together the four of them are in a race against time to find cause and cure – before it becomes a plague – before it becomes public knowledge – before humans start a war with gemue-kind.

The Only Half Trilogy

Cabal is a dhampir, born to a vampire mother and a human father. He is taught early on that neither humans nor vampires will accept him. After all humans fear what they don’t understand and kill the things they fear. Vampires despise dhampirs’ mere existence and actively hunt and kill Cabal’s kind.

An exclusive e-book compilation of the first three books in The Only Half Saga! Follow Carmen, Renate, and Cabal through 600 years of struggle through the nuclear wasteland formerly known as The United States.

Before the Fall:
Cabal’s mother was seduced by a human, only to be abandoned by him after she grants him the life eternal. She fled to the city to birth him, fearing he would be taken from her and killed the moment he was born.
Or so Cabal’s always been told.
For ten years it has been just Carmen and Cabal in a lonely, isolated existence. When a nuclear accident scours the world, they are left to struggle through the detritus left behind.

Redemption:
After a hundred and fifty years of chasing Renate’s dusty trail, seeking revenge for his mother going mad, Cabal finds himself in the town of Redemption. The stopover is supposed to be short, a gathering of vital information before moving on. He’d always been brought up with the notion that he will never be accepted much less loved. Imagine his surprise when Redemption offers both, and more.

Endgame:
Finally, Cabal is catching up on Renate! After chasing him for five and a half centuries, he begins to question his motives for finding his father. Is it still to enact revenge for the loss of his mother, or has that desire morphed into something completely different?

Five thousand years ago, ten items were hidden across Creation. Enchanted with magic from an age gone by, they had the power to open a door to a realm long since forgotten. When the items were used, they sealed away one of the greatest evils to ever walk the worlds.

The hunt for the items has begun. The stakes: free the evil or leave it trapped. Should it be freed, the Age of Darkness will begin. Nothing and no one can stop it, except for one: the holder of the opposite power, the power of good.

With the help of her friends and allies, the keeper of this power, Amneris Topanga, must track down all ten items before the followers of this great evil. But there’s a catch. The items can only be used or destroyed when all ten are together.

Sounds simple enough, right?

Their love is tested by the gods, their people, and their past as Manannán mac Lir, the god of the seas, threatens to uproot their worlds as they know it. Together, they must reforge the broken bonds between their species in order to preserve their relationship and break the selkie’s curse.

The Age of Darkness looms over Creation.

Four items remain in this race between the Lyriumians and Terpolites. With their Leader missing in action, the remaining members of the Court of Lyriumia must find the items and face the traps protecting them. As if that wasn’t difficult enough, the Terpolites are hot on their heels. Armed with a link to Naiu’s power, Tara and her followers are closer than ever to winning this War.

The Sleepers hold them hostage.

Trapped in the Chasm of Nightmares after becoming lost during the battle, Amneris and Colt have been dragged deep into a world known as the Dreamscape. In order to escape, they must return to the waking world, breaking through the fantasies keeping them trapped. But fantasies are convincing. Not everyone awakens from their dreams.

The final battle is near.

There is a power that can tip the Balance, a power hidden long ago on the God Worlds. If the Dark King is freed, if this ancient power is rediscovered, Creation will be thrown into chaos with no way back. If the words of the Gods are to believed, does that mean death is the only way to end the War once and for all?
